My friend has them on his third gen. They look really slick. He didn't have any problems with them fitting. I'll see if I can find some pictures.

I almost bought a set about 2 years ago. A Corvette shop here in town had a couple of sets for $2,000 each. That's a lot better than the $1,100 PER WHEEL that the dealership wants. Unfortunately I couldn't afford them at the time so I posted them here and everybody told me I was crazy for posting stock C5 wheels for $2000. Now I know of a bunch of people that want them and wish they could find them for that price.

Yeah they are really expensive wheels, my dad has them stock on his '00 Corvette. I dont know how big of a difference this will make, but I just wanted to make sure you knew they had a little bit different offset compared to other C5 wheels. They were a European option because there are some regulations on wheel size/spacing ect. ( i dont know the facts), so they had to adjust the offste...so the majority of mag wheels were featured on exported Corvettes.
